List of Christian saints of Algeria

This is a list of Algerian saints, blesseds, venerables, and Servants of God, as recognized by the Catholic Church. These people were born, died, or lived their religious life in the present territory of Algeria.

Catholicism had reached Algeria within the first centuries of Christianity. Though interrupted by the Muslim conquest, from ancient times, through the period of French rule, and into the present time, Algeria has had an active Catholic presence. Aside from Egypt, and possibly Tunisia, Algeria accounts for the most known saints of any individual country in Africa.

Before the Arab Conquest
While Catholicism reached northern Africa during Roman times, the Roman borders did not exactly match modern ones. Some saints, particularly of Berber origin, may have been more closely associated with parts of modern Tunisia or Libya. This is a partial list of early saints certainly or probably associated with modern Algeria.
